Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Exclusive breastfeeding has an important role in children's lives both in the short and long term. The Indonesian National Socio-Economic Survey 2014-2016 noted that the achievement of breastfeeding in Indonesia has exceeded 90 percent, but this was not followed by the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding which only reached half. This indicates the failure of exclusive breastfeeding by giving food/drinks other than breast milk before the baby is exactly six months old. Previous research has found that the use of hormonal contraception causes reduced milk production so that it can affect breastfeeding performance. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of maternal contraceptive use on the continuity of exclusive breastfeeding in infants aged 0 to 5 months which are controlled by social, economic, and demographic characteristics. METHODS: This study uses the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey (IDHS) 2017 data and analysed using the Cox regression. RESULTS: Babies whose mothers use hormonal contraception have a smaller risk to have a failure of exclusive breastfeeding. Other variables that are significant in influencing the continuity of exclusive breastfeeding are maternal age, parity, wealth quintile, and father's education. Although the residential area variables were not significant, the results showed that infants living in rural areas had a greater chance of failing exclusive breastfeeding when compared to babies living in an urban area. DISCUSSION: This study suggests the importance of paying attention to the age of first marriage to the mother, education, and husband's support in the continuity of exclusive breastfeeding.
